Dorgrare property of Mrs. Calhoun.

ruary S, resolutions were adopted stat
ing that they were unable to pay the
rents without reduction of 40 per
cent.
On Sunday, February 6, the farmers
and laborers on the estate surrounding
Ballygar held grand demonstration in
that village to support the caus OF the
Bagot tenantry, who have demanded
an abatement of Is per cent. in all their
rents. A platform was erected in the

O'Brien aud John Deasy were the
speakers. A police note.taker was
present. Mr.. O'Brien was presented
with an address of welcome, in reply to
which he said: 'tWhether in Parlia-
ment or out Parliament, you may rest
assured that in the hour Of danger 1
won't be found far from your side, or
from the side of our great leader, under
whom it is the pride and glory Of my
life to carry musket in the ranks"
During his speech of advice to the ten

It's not only my feeble hands that sus-
tain it to-day, but the hands of Michael
Davitt sustain it. The Bagots will be
glad to learn that Michael Davitt has
come home again. His voice will be
heard in Loughrea next Sunday, thun-
dering in Lord Clanricarde's ears. Some
of us have spoken so much and so often
on the land question for some months
past, that it is a downright luxury for
me to know that we have amongst us
again man who will save us from the
lions share of talk and fight against the
foes of Ireland, for Michael Davitt's
name is plan of campaign in itself,
and a lesson for rackrenters in this
land. He has landed just in time to
carry on the campaign, which is simply,
under new name, the old campaign
that our fathers fought before us
against the exterminators of our people
and the alien misrulers of our land.
This miserable Tory Government of
botches and bunglers, who few months
ago undertook so confidently to rule and
to crush us, are tumbling to-day like a
house of cards themselves.
